Nick obtained a M.Sc in Computer Science in the UPC, Barcelona and started to work for Acquia after an intense internship at Acquia where he improved the Apache Solr Module.

When he is not in the Acquia HQ in Boston or somewhere else in the world, he is at home in Belgium (not accidentally the home of Drupal!).
